Netanyahu does not accept the US-Iran agreement, new plan to sabotage the agreement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told US President Donald Trump that Israel is not obliged to accept the agreement reached between the US and Iran. The US media outlet CNN reported this information in a report on Thursday (June 18) citing an Israeli official who did not want to be named.

According to the report, Netanyahu is currently trying to influence the 60-day negotiation process after the agreement. His goal is to bring the content of the final agreement to his position. For this, the official claims that he is trying to put pressure on the Trump administration using his close right-wing media figures and some US senators.

The official also said that Netanyahu believes that Iran will not reach a final agreement in the end and that the country will not accept real limits on its nuclear program. Citing a CNN report, Anadolu said that Netanyahu made it clear to Trump that no part of the agreement, including the end of the war and the Lebanon-related clause, is binding on Israel.

Meanwhile, Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon continue despite the US-Iran agreement taking effect. On Thursday, an Israeli drone strike targeting a vehicle in southern Lebanon killed one person and seriously injured another, Lebanese state media reported.

However, Israel has not yet officially responded to the claims raised in the CNN report. Earlier, last Sunday, Iran and the US announced that they had reached a 14-point agreement mediated by Pakistan. The agreement, known as the ‘Islamabad Memorandum’, aims to end the war and resolve the dispute between the two countries through negotiations.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Donald Trump digitally signed it on Thursday. The agreement came into effect. The agreement includes issues such as ending the war, the situation in Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and lifting the US naval blockade on Iran.

However, the two sides are expected to begin a 60-day negotiation process on issues such as Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions, with the aim of reaching a final agreement.
